Having said this, Wang Miaoyin looked at Liu Yu, who had always looked calm and silent: "Commander, it seems that this Secretary Wang is a talent specially recruited from Qilu by Liu Changshi. I want you to Congratulations, there is another talented and knowledgeable person in the army."
Liu Zhong curled up his lips and said: "A talented person needs real ability, and it is not enough to just take advantage of it. Among the aristocratic families, there are many experts who talk about the Qingxuan. For example, Yin Zhongkan and others are the famous Qingxuan He is a debater, but everyone has seen his ability to govern a country and organize an army. The general believes that those who have military and political talents like Liu Changshi are truly talented and learned people!"
Liu Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, the siege is still going on. We are just waiting for the battle report from the front, so we can take some time to chat. Mu Zhi, where did you find this young man?" Where’s Junjie’s?”
Liu Muzhi turned around and said calmly: "It's not me who went to find it, but the king's clerk came to join the army on his own. I want to explain what General A Zhong just said, and I will bring it to the stage today. The dozen or so people who came to handle official documents and military affairs are all people with real talents and knowledge. Some of them are old people who have been following me since the founding of the General, some are children of aristocratic families who are accompanying the army this time, and some are Wang Shuli. In this way, the local heroes who came to join the army after Master Wang entered Yan, but regardless of their qualifications and origins, those who can be appointed here must have real military and political talents. My young master!"
A trace of guilt flashed across Liu Zhong's face, and he cupped his hands and said: "General, I made a mistake for a moment, please forgive me, Chief Shi."
Liu Muzhi waved his feather fan gently and said: "We are all working for the Jin Dynasty and Marshal Liu, and we have all received the kindness of the Marshal. Our status today is the favor of the Jin Dynasty. I dare not have it." The slightest slack can only be rewarded by working hard. Although Wang Xuanmo is a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, the Taiyuan Wang family has long declined in the north and is far away from his hometown in Bingzhou. Now he is just an ordinary family based on farming. It’s not the kind of high-ranking family from the Jin Dynasty that you imagined, Xiao Zhong.”
Liu Zhong was a little surprised and said in amazement: "No way, even the surnamed Han, the surnamed Gao and the surnamed Feng, as well as the Pilu family are all very famous in the Qilu land. The Taiyuan Wang family is the top famous family in the north. Why? meeting?"
Wang Miaoyin sighed softly: "The Five Husbands have destroyed China, and the land of China has fallen. It has been hundreds of years since the north fell into the hands of the barbarians. Most of the high-ranking Han families in the past have been displaced and have long since lost their former glory. Ah Zhong , you and General Wang have been friends since childhood and fled together. You don't want to think about why the Wang family of Taiyuan still has appeal and influence in the north. Why did you have to leave your hometown again? The two young men will go to the Jin Dynasty in the south thousands of miles away. Woolen cloth?"
Liu Zhong suddenly realized: "This is really the truth. I thought that the Taiyuan Wang family is so prominent in the south, and at least it will be powerful in the north."
Wang Xuanmo said coldly: "My ancestors of the Wang family once had grudges with the royal family of the Jin Dynasty. The ancestors of the princes were slanderous and were killed by Emperor Sima Xuan in order to defend the Wei Dynasty. Therefore, as his descendants, I will He fled to the land of Qilu and lived incognito for many years, refusing to serve as an official in the Jin Dynasty, so he became an ordinary farmer's boy now."
Wang Miaoyin frowned slightly: "The Three Marches in Huainan happened more than a hundred years ago. There is no need to mention these hatreds from several generations ago."
What Wang Miaoyin said was a key step in the Sima family's usurpation of Wei at the end of the Three Kingdoms. After the Gaoping Ling Incident, Sima Yi killed the powerful minister Cao Shuang and took control of the central government. However, the most important vassal town in the south of Wei State also Even in the Huainan area, which was guarding the direction of Soochow, three rebellions were launched against Sima Yi. Three governors, Mu Qiujian, Wang Ling, and Zhuge Dan, successively raised their own troops to attack Sima Yi, and even contacted Soochow as a helping hand.
Since Huainan is an important town in the defense of Soochow, it has always had well-equipped soldiers, and the people of Huainan have been famous for their bravery since ancient times. They are rare elite soldiers. The three rebellions in Huainan once shaken the foundation of Wei. Sima Yi, Sima Shi, Sima Three generations of brothers, father and son, Zhao personally went to war and mobilized troops from all over the country to suppress the three rebellions one by one. After suppressing the three rebellions, the Sima family had no rivals in Wei, and they usurped the throne all the way.
In the process of seizing the country, Sima's father and son marched on mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They were so cruel to these opponents who openly resisted that even the descendants and emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sima Shao, lamented after hearing about it. Incessantly, as an important minister of the Wei State, Wang Ling was killed at the age of eighty after the failure of the rebellion. The entire clan was slaughtered. Only a few people survived by changing their names and escaping to other places, and this Wang Xuanmo was one of them. Direct lineage, if it hadn't been for the chaos at the end of the Jin Dynasty and the land of Qilu fell into the hands of the barbarians, they would not have dared to take out the Wang family genealogy and ancestral tablets casually.
Wang Xuanmo's eyes were a little red, and he said loudly: "The sage has said that the revenge of nine generations should be repaid, as well as a hundred! Although Xuanmo is just a scholar and a farmer, this family hates the ancestral hatred and dare not take revenge. Forget, although I will not seek revenge against the Emperor of Jin Dynasty again, I have made an oath not to serve in official positions and not to eat the salary of Jin Dynasty!"
Liu Yu laughed: "Since Secretary Wang made such an oath, why did he break his oath and come to join the army?"
Wang Xuanmo breathed a long sigh of relief, turned to Liu Yu, and said seriously: "When I came to Liu Changshi to surrender to the army, I made it clear that I will vote for the commander-in-chief, not the Jin Dynasty. I will work for the commander-in-chief and will not feed Sima." Salary!"
Liu Yu's lips curled up slightly: "Is there any difference? I am a minister of Jin and a general of Jin. If you work for me, you are working for Jin and Emperor Sima."
Wang Xuanmo shook his head: "Commander, I think this difference is very big. The so-called ministers' ministers are not ministers. The commander-in-chief has the power to open the government and establish the curtain. The ministers you recruit here are not the official officials of the Jin Dynasty. But I am a member of your military government, just like a humble position, now I am an official, there is no rank in the Jin Dynasty, I am only responsible for your service."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "This is just an expedient measure during wartime. If we win after the war and we will be rewarded based on merit, then I will recommend all outstanding soldiers, scribes, and officials to the imperial court, and those who will be given official positions will be Then, don’t you still want to be an official of the Jin Dynasty?”
Wang Xuanmo looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Commander, Xuanmo joins the army not for glory and wealth, but because he is a descendant of China and a Han people, and fulfills his duty as a Han, expelling the barbarians and regaining the lost territory. That's all. If we win this battle, Xuanmo will not ask for an official position, but is willing to take off his armor and return to his fields, and return to Linquan."
